THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES: Solve the puzzle below for the real coordinates!
Your heart pounds with anticipation as you cross the police tape. The blue and red lights flash from behind you and the murmurs of a growing street crowd assault your ears. You’ve been called into your first crime scene where you will act as a real investigator. The years of training have prepared you for this moment, do you have what it takes to solve the crime?
“Victim is a male, age 39, named G.O. Cache. Cause of death is a bullet wound to the chest. The perimeter has been secured,” the first responding officer informs you. “It seems the killer left behind some clues as to his whereabouts. Good Luck.”
Enter the crime scene
The killer left a note with his email on it at the scene of the crime, and we’ve determined the password to be represented by the hash db0cbf03aa4e39a37d9aafca8a7d81db. See if you can crack the password and get into the account. EDIT (2/5/2025): The email portion of this puzzle was not functioning properly due to Google's two factor authentication, as a result I've replaced it with a new method of finding the clues left behind. Just download that file to get started. As a hint, you'll need a tool called winrar which can be downloaded for free from here! You're on your own for the rest, have fun!
